| Revision Date: | 2015-11-16 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2015-7872 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - medium. | | Description: | The key_gc_unused_keys function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel through 4.2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via crafted keyctl commands. Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the Linux kernel's keyring handler attempted to garbage collect incompletely instantiated keys. A local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
